It has been revealed at this year’s E3 event that upcoming DLC map packs for Modern Warfare 2 will be timed-exclusives for the Xbox 360. We’re not sure what kind of deal Microsoft have struck with Activision/Infinity Ward, but the news was confirmed by Microsoft during their press conference at E3.
According to this Joystiq article, the first two map packs will be available first only on Xbox 360. Obviously, they didn’t comment on when the PS3 would be recieving the content after, but we imagine it will be something in the region of 4-5 weeks.
Microsoft’s John Schappert stated at E3 that the Xbox 360 version would ”lead the way in Modern Warfare 2’s online component”.
How do PS3 owners feel about this? Are you suprised or not?

personally, I couldn’t care less if they don’t give us ps3 owners the map packs for a year. I’m getting a little annoyed at having to shell out money all the time for new content, just so I can keep up with everyone else. As far as i’m concerned, the maps should be free, and trickle out over time.
xbox’s cheap tricks to get morons on board again, ps3’s following on COD is bigger and better than xbox as most xbox guys play halo, i have both but wouldn’t touch MW2 on xbox even if microsoft paid me, cod4 sucked on xbox, ps3 has the egde
I hate microsoft. For pretty much every game that is good and that has downloadable content. Microsoft goes ahead and forks out their money that they could be using to fix the X’box just to bribe the companies to delay the downloads. Fallout 3, Modern warfare 2, any more? What i think is that they get it early. Not us getting it late. Frrom all the info iv’e heard aabout prefious exclusive content, it has had magor glitches and problems that they can’t fix for about 2-4 weeks. In that time we will only have to wait one week and the content should be fixed. It’s still crap though that Microsoft are doiin this. Sony won’y even speed a penny on developers. I just hope that the content won’t work for the X-box users.
That’s how Microsoft do business these days I’m afraid…not a lot anyone can do about it.
this is bullcrap, why will they not make(mw2) map pakcs for ps3..but they did it for cod waw. And is map pack 4 actually coming out for the ps3??? when is it coming out?
Classic PS3 owners moaning about the Xbox. Just cos all you bought was an expensive Bluray player, no need to get bitter about the whole thing. Xbox = better graphically and cheaper and better games - bit of a no-brainer really.
i own a xbox and a ps3 and i will never buy a mappack. there **** and y are you guys crying over this the mappacks will suck they do fore all games
Instead of talking trash about Xbox 360, the trash talk should rather be rated against PS3 owners. And the reason why PS3 owners are getting so pissed, is because they realize how stupid they are, especially after buying such a lame console. Anyway, I’m not going to argue about the details, Microsoft is still offering the best of the best, making most PS3 owner jealous, which they’ve already demonstrated more than twice. I’d rather just look in the garbage, instead of buying a PS3, because I prefer not to waste my money on such crap. But on the other side, if you’re a nerd, an idiot, noob… Anything like that, feel free to buy a PS3, even if it’s not worth the money, you’re just fooling yourself. Almost the same as pulling a prank on yourself.
